OldHippie says "This Is Sold At Sears?" about Schwinn Suburban Sport Bicycle

The particular model I found was at Sears and Sears.com. The model found on Viewpoints may link you to a model on Amazon.com. The Sears model's full name is Schwinn 26in Men's Suburban Comfort Bike. Normal selling price is $299.99. As of this writing (12-13-2009) it's on sale for $249.99.

So what makes this model so much better than your average "big box store" bike? There are several... First is a real suspension seatpost; the kind that the seat rails attach directly to the seatpost.

The page is designed well, the pictures look authentic and they make claim to having the real deal. They also consistently site throughout the web site having customer satisfaction commitments.

To add to the thought it was authentic, the pricing seemed good but not amazing. As you probably know a typical pair of Ugg Boots cost about $110. On Buyuggsboot.net the cost was $89.00- approximately a $20 savings. Seemed like a good deal, but they werent so cheap that I thought it could be scam. As an aside, last year Nordstrom had a similiar sale on Ugg boots so the pricing seemed...
